Description

@nightroman

Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

Please use the attached script test.ps1 and satellite trivial Get-Arg.exe that prints all the arguments.

_221118_1846-ps730.zip

Or use/build from sources below:

test.ps1

& $PSScriptRoot\Get-Arg.exe 1 'a a' '"b"' '\"c\"'

Get-Arg.cs

using System;

internal class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        foreach (var arg in args)
            Console.WriteLine(arg);
    }
}

Test 1 Invoke by powershell 5.1:

powershell .\test.ps1

Output (good):

1
a a
b
"c"

Test 2 Invoke by pwsh 7.2.7:

C:\Bin\pwsh.7.2.7\pwsh.exe .\test.ps1

Output (good, the same as above):

1
a a
b
"c"

Test 3 Invoke by pwsh 7.3.0:

pwsh .\test.ps1

Output (not good, different from test 1 and 2):

1
a a
"b"
\"c\"

The third and forth arguments are sent differently.
